Effective January 30th, 2024, Sonic, the blockchain and DeFi platform, is set to undergo a significant transformation by discontinuing its support for WICP. This strategic decision, while not made lightly, is rooted in Sonic’s commitment to constant improvement and adaptability within the fast-evolving landscape of decentralized finance.
The first noticeable change will take place on January 30th, 2024, as the functionality allowing users to swap WICP is disabled. This marks the initial step in Sonic’s meticulous plan to refine its operational framework. Subsequently, by March 30th, 2024, users will no longer be able to withdraw their WICP from the liquidity pool, completing the transition away from WICP support.
Acknowledging the potential challenges this shift may present, Sonic is introducing a proactive measure to ease the transition for its user base. A unique incentive program has been unveiled, encouraging liquidity providers to embrace the move from WICP to ICP. This initiative offers participants the opportunity to become part of an exclusive pool, where a collective reward of $5000 in $SONIC tokens awaits.
Participation in this incentive program is straightforward, involving a three-step process:
- Close your existing WICP position.
- Swap your WICP holdings for ICP.
- Create a new liquidity position, pairing ICP with any other token available on Sonic.
To qualify for the incentive, users must adhere to a set of eligibility criteria:
- The incentive is exclusively applicable to users transitioning from WICP to ICP.
- Users must use the same wallet for creating the ICP pair as was used for closing the WICP.
- A crucial note: Wallets created after this announcement will not be eligible for the incentive.
This strategic shift aligns with Sonic’s ongoing commitment to adaptability and evolution within the dynamic realms of blockchain and DeFi. Sonic envisions these changes as a catalyst for a more robust and efficient trading experience on its platform, thereby reinforcing its position in the swiftly evolving world of decentralized finance.
